# Motion vs Ergo Focus

The clearest difference is rating: Ergo Focus at 5.0 against Motion's 4.1. Ergo Focus also leads on monetization model (free vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). Motion's advantage is ratings volume (1.9K vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Motion sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $44.99 per month and Ergo Focus sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Ergo Focus holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Motion has 1.9K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 42% of Motion's written reviews are positive against 50% of Ergo Focus's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
